Veraison in the vineyard!

In the world of viticulture and the onset of the ripening of the grapes, the French call this process veraison.

The official definition of veraison is "change of color of the grape berries". Veraison represents the transition from berry growth to berry ripening, and many changes in berry development occur at veraison.

Veraison is the first sign that we’re getting closer to harvest! In a couple weeks we’ll be walking the vineyard, taste testing grapes to decide if our grapes are ready to pick, or if they need stay on the vines a bit longer. Always an exciting time for us at the winery!

Stop by the winery, and talk to Dan or David. Have a chat about veraison, the vineyards and more, all while sipping your favorite wines!
